P. D. Hinduja Hospital, Khar introduces
The Cosmetic Clinic
2Who is this procedure for? Any person who desires
improvement in the shape of the torso (abdomen,
waist and hips) for whatever reason is a good
candidate to undergo this procedure. Typically
What is LIPO-ABDOMINOPLASTY (Tummy Tuck)?
Women who have had one or more pregnancies, whose
family is complete and who desire removal of
stretch marks and a pre-pregnancy like flat
tummy. Morbidly obese persons (men and women)
with excessive skin hanging from the abdomen
(panniculus) that obstructs daily activities and
leads to sweat accumulation, maceration,
irritation and rashes.
Young women who have not had children but want to
remove excessive abdominal fat/skin bulge.
This is an operation done to improve the contour
or shape of the tummy, waist and hips. It
involves 2 steps, the first being liposuction, in
which fat cells are sucked out from under the
skin and the second step involves re-draping and
removal of excess skin after suitably tightening
the abdominal muscles (if required). The belly
button may be repositioned during this operation.
Men who desire a better abdominal contour.
Persons diagnosed with abdominal/umbilical/incisio
nal hernias will also benefit from this
procedure as it can be performed along with the
repair of the hernia.
3How much time will the surgery take? Depending
upon your requirements, the surgery can take
between 3-6 hours during which you will be under
general anaesthesia.
Will there be a visible scar? Yes, all surgeries
result in scars. Using globally established,
popular methods of incision placement and with
our experience, you will be left with a fine
linear scar which can be easily hidden below
your undergarments. Over a period of time, the
scars will soften and merge with the surrounding
skin.
Further details and options can be discussed with
us during consultations prior to surgery. A soft
tube may be placed at the operative site to drain
excess fluid post-operatively and will be
removed by us when the draining fluid is minimal.
However, they are visible as thin white lines. In
rare cases, the scars may thicken and become
rope like (hypertrophic scars) which may require
further treatment.
4Will there be any complications? With proper
planning and our strict adherence to patient
safety, complications will be rare. However,
postsurgical collection of blood/fluid under the
skin, some fluid discharge from the wound, gaping
of the wound and infection are some of the known
complications of this surgery. Details will be
discussed during the consultations.
How many days of hospital stay is required?
Our patients are usually walking around by the
evening of the surgery, if they feel
comfortable. We recommend staying for at least
2-3 days following surgery.
How long will my result last after surgery? It
will last you for life provided you are able to
maintain a regular diet and exercise protocol,
as before your surgery.
When can one resume work life? Light household
work can be commenced within 7 days of surgery.
However for
(variable) after surgery. Gymming/lifting heavy
weights may be resumed safely after 4-5 weeks.
